Love taking retro-inspired snaps of your travels? A start-up company called PolaPros is hoping that you will outgrow the fakery of the groovy filters on Instagram or Hipstamatic and opt for the real thing.

PolaPros sells refurbished Polaroid cameras of yesteryear, as well as accessories. If you’ve got a treasured Polaroid kicking around, they offer a refurbishment service that will restore the camera to factory-new specs. Cameras come with a 5-Point Guarantee, as well as warranty and manual. If you care about style as much as substance, they can also pimp your Polaroid with a PolaSkin makeover, with their exclusive line of die-cut skins made from leather and other materials.
